The Ghost and Mrs Muir always makes me cry! Excellent movie and soundtrack.
Speaking of "Hush Hush Sweet Charlotte" - over the years I really like that one better overall than "Baby Jane" - great lines - especially Bette with her glass of champagne -- "Vile, sorry little B***ch! Everyone is great, including Agnes Moorehead "Don't you think I know a due bill when I see one?" and the EVIL Olivia DeHavilland === the ladies at the end "I heard she wasn't wearing no underwear when they found her"...
